8. Luck tosses four touchdowns again

For the second game in a row, the Colts lost a game by single digits when they were in the perfect position to escape with the win, which is frustrating since their record could easily be 3-1 instead of 1-3. Still, just because the Colts are disappointed with their record at the moment doesn’t mean they can’t at least be positive over the fact that Andrew Luck is showing signs of his old ways on offense.

Luck’s ability to remain healthy was a major concern for Indianapolis heading into training camp after missing all of last season due to a shoulder injury, but the former No. 1 pick deserves plenty of credit for the way he’s looked so far. In fact, Luck is arguably coming off his best game of 2018 in which he threw four touchdown passes in a loss to the Texans, although it would have been better if the Colts ended up winning the game.

With a similar performance like this when taking on the Patriots, Luck could give the Colts a much better chance of knocking off the defending AFC champions. Indianapolis claims the rivalry with New England is back on, so here’s to hoping Luck comes through in front of a national audience in Week 5.
